Two More Tryhards: Recent Episodes
Peter Zinn
Two more tryhards trying to relive their video game glory days on a grand tour de force of all that modern gaming has to offer.
The year is 2022...across a not-so desolate landscape, MegaCorps continue to grow in strength as Microsoft acquires Blizzard-Activision, Sony acquires Bungie and Nintendo continues to Nintendo. We're also going back to a game that was "ready" in 2020 and is "finished" in 2022.
That's right, this week we have Morgan, Jordan and Ed to talk about Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red.

If ever there was something to point to as a pure form of 80s/90s nostalgia, this is it. In the vein of a classic like Turtles in Time, a beat em' up like Shredder's Revenge will give you everything you could have wanted without bleeding you and your family dry of quarters. It's like being 9 in Chuck E Cheese again.

Sup, suckas? We return, on time, again! This week is without Peter so Morgan and Jordan are talking Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Are we once again going to refer to a game as a love letter to something? You bet your sweet ass we are. This time it's a blend of two things we love deeply, Loot n' Shoot and Tabletop RPGs.

The Tryhard Team is back after a short break with Vampire Survivors, the idle-ish bullet hell where YOU are the bullet hell. Fight off hordes of zombies, vampires, ghosts and more with your trusty throwing knife, cross, bible and a smattering of other holy relics as you fight to survive death itself.

The time has finally come. Halo has wrapped up the first season on Paramount+ and Peter and Jordan are here to talk about it. Where did this new form of storytelling in the Halo universe deliver, where did it fail, are we excited about next season? This week we look back and look forward to more Halo.

Peter and Jordan are back from the Eridanus II mission, or maybe they're out in the rubble, or maybe both because they too can skip time. What they can't skip, is another episode of Halo.

Back and almost caught up to the show run, Halo episodes 4 and 5 could be argued as both the highest point and the lowest point for the show so far. As it turns out, Halo is a good setting for fight scenes and not so good for slow burns like Kwan Ha. Who knew?

We're back, late again, but we're headed in the right direction. This week is looking at the Halo Paramount+ series episodes 2-3. After all of the fan service from episode 1, does the series continue to deliver? Did Jordan get his weird worm guys? Has Peter's grunty thirst been sated? Find out this week on Two More Tryhards.

We're a long ways from our first Left 4 Dead episode back in 2018, but we're finally here to talk about the sequel! After a disappointing showing from Back 4 Blood, the Tryhards look back to their roots and rediscover the magic from Left 4 Dead 2, a game truly ahead of it's time.

It's a missed opportunity to talk about Halo, but this week we have 4 Tryhards (2MT + Ed) to talk about Back 4 Blood, the spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead, also from the studio responsible for L4D. Did they recapture the magic, or should we just go play something that we already know we love?

"MMOs just don't do it for me"
-Morgan, some time in 2021
"YO DAWG, COME PLAY GUILD WARS 2 WITH ME!"
-Morgan, one week later
This week we're looking at Guild Wars 2, an honest to god free to play MMO with all the MMO trappings as well as some kinda weird ARPG trappings? Peter loves MMOs and is cool with Guild Wars 2. What is it about Guild Wars 2 though, that pulled Morgan into the fold? Find out this week on Dragon Ba...uhhh...Two More Tryhards!

Do you guys miss Morgan? We miss Morgan. That's why he's here this week! Morgan was consumed over the summer by DD: DA which means that to some extent, we're all consumed by it. Take a walk with us through one of the stranger RPGs from the past decade which serves as an entry into the genre that was an honest contender against Skyrim.

While not a formal episode, Peter was too excited to not ramble about his new adventures in Eorzea before getting into the Dragon's Dogma episode for the following Tuesday. This episode is all his new player impressions and Morgan graciously placating his excitement.

So close to the end of the Resident Evil franchise. Peter is out of order looking at Biohazard before 6 because reasons. After what appears to be a slow decline in quality since RE4, Peter discusses how the franchise makes a tremendous comeback by returning to their horror roots in the Lousiana bayou, home to the dangerous Baker household.

Not without controversy in both it's style, it's tone and it's genre, Resident Evil 5 will make you feel something, good, bad, but not indifferent.

Once more unto the breach. This episode marks halfway through the franchise and likely a brief break to look at other games while Peter scrambles to finish up the franchise.
Resident Evil 4 is the first game to go into over the shoulder/third-person and sets the stage for an entirely new genre. Is it leaving survival horror in the dust while trailblazing into the future of modern FPS? No. It's still Resident Evil, everybody calm down.

We're committed ladies and gentlemen. Despite the long break, Peter is back to look at Resident Evil 3 Remake all by his lonesome. This episode looks at the game standing alone, as well as compared to OG RE3 as well as RE2 Remake.
RE4 is up next week and hopefully he and Rachel can finish up 5 in time to record one for that as well.

Join us this week for a romp through the Prehistoric Gardens that is definitely not a riff on Jurassic Park, but sounds like it may actually be a place in Canada. Morgan runs the show with Peter playing the part of Atticus Westcott II, an elf who is definitely better than you, and Jordan playing Timothy Turnbuckle, a little man who is definitely smaller smarter than you.

The Tryhards are back after an exceedingly rough start to June. This is the start of a new segment we're trying so eloquently called Tabletry Tophards, where we jump into a TTRPG review in a similar style to our usual shows. In addition, following the review will be a release of a "short" gameplay session. Let us know what you think in any of the usual places! To kick it off, we play Savage Worlds, a favorite of Morgan's.

A little late to the party, but fashionably so. This week the Tryhard Trio talks about the Resident Evil Village Demo since the game is newly released. Long story short, the game seems cool, but the demo was pretty weak. Listen up and find out why. Also, Jordan is soft I guess?

Peter is back by himself one last time before the Two More Tryhard 3 year anniversary extravaganza. After all of that talk about Doom 2016 and Doom Immortal, this episode is a look back to what originally made the franchise so great way back when in 1993.

Spiritfarer poses this question and offers some potential answers in this base-building, metroidvania, action-platforming visual novel.

For the first time in over a year, we got a gift from Lord Nintendo. Last week was a full blown Nintendo Direct. Not a Nintendo Direct Mini where they announce Smash characters and tell us there's no Breath of the Wild 2 news. This is a full blown direct where they still tell us those things, but so much more, like Splatoon 3 incoming!

This week is a belated best of and worst of gaming in 2020. The tryhard trio digs into a couple games you can probably guess, like World of Warcraft Shadowlands and Cyberpunk 2077, but they also touch on a couple that you might not have expected. Listen in for the highs and lows from one of the lowest years in modern history. Happy New Year and welcome to 2021!

It turns out pretending that we'll survive as a species to the year 2077 is NOT the most immersion breaking part of the new Cyberpunk 2077. As it turns out, this game has some bugs. Morgan is holding down the fort by himself this week discussing crunch culture, game development and how the trends of modern gaming are all put on showcase with Cyberpunk 2077 from CDPR.

Peter is finishing off the solo series by talking about his personal favorite game of all time. It isn't Guitar Hero, it isn't World of Warcraft, and it is Halo. If Peter had to pick between this game, and literally any other, he will pick this game 100% of the time. That game is Jonathan Blow's masterpiece, the the time-turning indie hit, Braid.
This episode is going to take fifteen minutes of your time to tell you how games can indeed be art and why Braid is the perfect example of such.

Jordan is here to talk about Tetris and how he's better than you at it. Peter can confirm, he was by far the best Tetris player in his high school. Jordan can beat people at a new Tetris without having ever played it before. Jordan once beat...Chuck Norris at Tetris. Jordan can't be stopped. It isn't a problem, it's a skill. Peter can still beat you at Guitar Hero though.

All three Tryhards are back to revisit Remnant: From the Ashes now that it's had a beefy patch and new content added. Spoiler Alert: Peter really really likes this game. Another Spoiler Alert: Morgan still likes this game more than the other two combined. Not even kinda a spoiler alert, it's still buggy as the day is long.

We haven't had enough of Devolver Digital here at Two More Tryhards, so this week we're delving into a classic that Morgan and Peter are pretty sure they enjoy? Jordan is trying it for the first time. Peter and Morgan played it again but it's kinda hard. Maybe we don't like this game? Morgan is definitely over it, but Peter played again so maybe it isn't so bad. Peter actually kinda likes it, but Morgan definitely doesn't, and Jordan is so confused.

Mortal Kombat 11 - An Excellent Game and a Fatal Blow to the Franchise by Morgan Clement
First things first with this: I process by either talking out loud or writing. This is, first and foremost, just me processing my feelings on a game that I’d really like to love, but for some reason, can not. Second: these are, ultimately, my opinions. The fighting community is still hype playing this game, and I love watching tournament highlights because this game supports crazy good upsets and high-level play. So, I respect your views; however, these are mine, and maybe you’ll find you agree with some of them as well.
Okay, Mortal Kombat 11 came out last year, 2019 with a relatively high reception. This was it, folks: Netherrealm Studios has brought Mortal Kombat back into the public sphere; they’ve made a game that makes MK relevant again. In so many ways, the previous sentence was true: Mortal Kombat 11 takes some of the camp that me, and many others, enjoyed and ratcheted that up to 11 (this pun was unintentended) by making a gonzo story about time travel, family, and protecting/saving the world. It was hamfisted, dumb, campy, but altogether pretty enjoyable, and managed to pull off what many other franchises just couldn’t: a sincere story in the midst of a campy catastrophe.
The story, to me, was kind of the highlight. I had played 9, X, and Injustice 2, and found little to no issue with enjoying the storyline and getting into the other content. I’ve never been much of an online player; I get too nervous, and on top of that, normally I suck. I know that about myself; however, there’s something in me that just loves this chess-like aspect of fighting games, and that’s normally what keeps me going. The thing is, though, once I beat the Mortal Kombat 11 story line, and moved away from my friends, there hasn’t been much in this game that’s gotten me to come back.
In the release of the game the “Towers of Time”, a component that had been in other games to various degrees (most notably Injustice 2, just under a name “Eververse”, I believe) had been relatively butchered, with many people claiming that the game was damn near a mobile release with its predatory practices of impossible AI and “boosts” that you had to either earn, buy (not with real money), or find to make levels manageable. Netherrealm apologized, worked hard, stood by some of their design decisions, but ultimately scaled back the difficulty, and kinda just left the towers as is.
The other aspects that left some people, including myself, scratching their heads are as follows: 3 different types of currency in the game for various unlocks, a plethora of unlockable customization options that each had their own XP bars that didn’t carry over to another unlockable piece that you liked more, that same gear had gem slots that could only be unlocked by using said gear throughout multiple fights. Oh, and those gems for said gem slots? Unlocked through one of the various currencies and/or going through Towers of Time, which as mentioned earlier… not great.
Despite these issues, though, mechanically, MK11 is a sound fighter. You can watch any tournament and watch the hype surrounding the game. There’s a visual splendor with this game: there’s the krushing blows, a sort of x-ray hit that does extra damage and can only be utilized if certain previous attacks have connected; there’s the fatal blows that can be a sort of “comeback mechanic” that also is a flow-stopping, over-the-top video of sorts that shows your character brutally attacking the other; and of course, there’s fatalities and brutalities and all that fun stuff. There’s reversals, perfect blocks, and ways to expend meters, both offensively and defensively to make your attacks hit harder or stop you from taking more damage from a combo.
So why has this game failed to capture me as a fighter?
Admittedly, fighting games are a weird genre for me, I enjoy them a great deal, but they really have to check a few boxes for me to cosign the game as a whole.
- Does your game look good? Does it have a style?
- Does your game FEEL good? Is it fun to play?
- Can I deeply immerse myself? Is the core loop good enough that I won’t notice how long I’ve spent?
- Can I enjoy this game alone AND with friends?
Mortal Kombat 11 fails on quite a few of these expectations, even in the face of its previous iterations where they did not, and I think that’s really the problem.
The game looks great. NRS really put the spit shine to character models and environments. I remember looking at early gameplay and being absolutely impressed with the visual fidelity of the game. For a triple-A title, you can tell a good amount went into graphics.
The style side, however, lands somewhere between old Mortal Kombat, and an all-too-serious Mortal Kombat knockoff. The game has a bit of an identity problem in spots. At times, the game fully accepts its level of camp; in others, though, it attempts to be really serious… overly so, and the graphics back up the serious side of things more so than it really backs up the camp. So you have a spirit that’s “present” but drowned in an overly serious exterior, and honestly, the spirit seems to be dying a bit.
MK11 is a serious fighter. They were gunning for a more “tournament ready” game than previous iterations, and in doing so, they alienated the more casual side of the fighting game scene. This would be fine if the game was flashy enough, but again, the game feels overly serious at times, which disallows it from really being as fun to play/watch as a flashier game like Tekken 7 or Soul Calibur 6.
As I mentioned earlier, this game is a sound fighter, and it plays like one; however, it also plays like an overly serious tournament fighter, similar to Street Fighter V. Now’s the time to mention: I’m not a huge Street Fighter V fan. That is a fighting-ass game for serious fighting gamers. It’s a game that you spend a ton of time in to get decent at, and it’s not really something that I find very visually stunning or even approachable, not to mention its lack of features when it started out. It’s a good fighting game, but it’s just not for me… I don’t find it fun.
I think herein lies the problem, because this hits on both point two and three of what makes a good fighter for me. Mortal Kombat CAN feel good to play, but it doesn’t always. It CAN be fun, but it isn’t always. It can be tiresome, overly focused on tournament-level fighting. Its core gameplay loop is just the fighting (as it should be) but given that it IS so serious about being a tournament fighter, it doesn’t last long before you might tire of just… fighting with little variation. Its single player offerings don’t really satisfy, similar to SFV, although props to NRS for, at the very least, having single player offerings.
It’s not long, while playing either MK11 or SFV where you begin to feel like all you’re doing is training rather than playing. Some would argue that’s how fighting games are, but I argue good fighting games allow you to forget that. I never think to myself, while playing games like Soul Calibur, Tekken 7, or Lethal League Blaze, I’m just training now… this isn’t fun. No. Instead, I get lost in the game; I get lost in the fighting, the flashing lights, the hype. The loop is well hidden behind how much FUN I’m having. They’re all accessible, and if you want to train, you can, but it’s not the meat of the experience.
On the plus, however, MK11 IS fun with friends. It’s a fighting-ass fighting game, for better or for worse, but if you play with people who are at a similar level, just like any other fighter, you end up surprising one another and having a good deal of fun in the meantime. I’ve spent countless hours with buddies, going through the roster and playing each character. It’s a blast. The problem is, the minute somebody leaves, you’re left with a game that allows not much else but to train… and if you do that, and your buddies don’t have the game, you’ve classed yourself out of your buddies, then no one is having fun.
Nice.
